I am strong when I'm quiet I never let you see me stall I can hate what you say and still smile Only play on an open court I am the ringleader of my own circle Fall on my knees and I won't bleed Set me on fire and I'll fall to sleep The pain of my scolds sets me free I can not Breathe (yeah) Let me be free (yeah) from myself Drown me in silence and suddenly I'm floating I rip me apart with one look Use my heart as a crutch for my ego And hope that I never never fall in love I can not Breathe (yeah) Let me be free (yeah) from myself I must survive This wonderful punishment called life Use my heart and unravel it My innocence is all gone Torn apart and I can't handle it My innocence is all gone I can not Breathe (yeah) Let me be free (yeah) from myself I must survive This wonderful punishment called life This wonderful punishment called life
